Opalton Grasswren
4 sections
The Opalton Grasswren (Amytornis rowleyi) is a small, ground-dwelling bird found only in a limited region of western Queensland, Australia, particularly around Opalton, Lark Quarry, and Goneaway National Park. It was recognised as a distinct species in 22, having previously been grouped with the Striated Grasswren. Its extremely limited range makes it one of the most range-restricted birds in Australia.
